General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees were exposed to: the hazard of loads being dropped due to brittleness in a hook which had been welded. (a)Production Area, at East end of Tube Mill Line #24 - The throat opening of the hook below the traveling block on a 5 ton Robbins & Meyers electric hoist, mounted on the #24 Tube Mill Jib Crane, had been permanently closed when a bolt was welded across the top of the hook, thus altering the hook contrary to the manufacturer's recommendations. Reference Section 10-1.2.3(f) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineer's safety standard for Hooks, ASME B30.10a - 1996. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to replace the entire traveling block and hook with one approved by the hoist manufacturer.
